What is the most popular muscle car of all time that goes zero to sixty in 6.5 seconds flat?

Though it had phony hood scoops, it was definitely a muscle car with an attitude. The 66 model had a lot of the same features as the 64, but being the second body style for Pontiacs GTO line, it redefined style with pizzazz.

After its release, Pontiac added an XS Ram Air package to the tri-power engine giving it a hotter cam and greater power close to 380 hp truly ideal for a muscle car. The XS Ram Air package upgrade included the cam and stiffer valve springs along with an accessory pack that enabled the decorative hood scoop to be converted into a functional cold-air induction system. There are very few 1966 Pontiac GTOs that have the XS Ram Air setup, so they are definitely unique muscle cars for a muscle car collector.
